Ah, AM4.
At 10 years old, it’s still the platform that keeps on giving.
This is cool. I just hope game developers also get on this bandwagon. We could use a 4-year moratorium on increasing minimum system requirements.
not gonna happen with GTA6 releasing soon
Rockstar are good at optimising their games. GTA V ran better than GTA IV on the same hardware. I wouldn’t be surprised if GTA VI runs well on the Steam Deck.
It won’t at all run on the deck. They blocked 5 from Linux a while ago.
Rockstar good at optimizing games?
Is that a real statement?
Wat good is a board of there’s no memory? AM4 has been happily humming along for years too, why is MSI special now?
DDR4 isn’t as much a part of the memory shortage, though that seems to be shifting because DDR5 is jacked up. They’re pulling a solid for consumers by releasing a cheap motherboard where memory can be gotten, or giving a transition for users with older components.

ddr4 looks to have doubled in price but ddr5 is up 5x
I’m pondering whether to sell my 4x8Gb DDR4 sticks after recently upgrading to 2x32 or hold on to those if I want to build another system or my current sticks die all of a sudden.
DDR4 is cheaper than DDR5, sure, but retailers have jacked the price of both by the same percentage, so it’s not really all that much of a rescue.
I expect people will need a full mortgage to pay for DDR6 when it comes out next year.
noo, good cats are not for sale
This is universally true, so, it’s implied they are a bad cat unfortunately
